6.6 Floating-Point Instruction Set Overview
Floating-Point Computational Instructions
Computational instructions perform arithmetic operations on floating-point values, in registers. Table 6-11 lists the computational instructions and Appendix B provides a detailed description of each instruction. There are two categories of computational instructions:
- 3-Operand Register-Type instructions, which perform floating-point addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
- 2-Operand Register-Type instructions, which perform floating-point absolute value, move, negate, and square root operations
